This elegant Champagne has an underlying richness, with caramel and smoke hints accenting the bread dough, stone fruit and honey flavors. There's lovely texture, with fine integration to the bright acidity. The spice-tinged finish lingers. 90 points, The Wine Spectator (Nov 2010)
The NV Brut Grande Reserve is a gorgeous, refined Champagne endowed with incredible grace and elegance. This creamy, textured wine reveals tons of depth and clarity as it floats on the palate. The wine's balance and harmony are impeccable. 91 points -The Wine Advocate (Dec 2009)
Bright gold with a delicate, lively bead. Toasty pear, quince and Meyer lemon on the nose, with sexy floral and spice notes adding complexity. The floral element builds with air and repeats on the palate, which features gently sweet orchard fruit flavors and notes of honey and buttered toast. Spices and flowers dominate the long, sappy, strikingly focused finish. This wine's marriage of power and energy is impressive. 92 points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Dec 09)
